The ADAU1328 is a high performance, single-chip codec that provides two analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) with differential input and eight digital-to-analog converters (DACs) with single-ended output using the Analog Devices, Inc. patented multibit sigma-delta (Σ-Δ) architecture. An SPI port is included, allowing a microcontroller to adjust volume and many other parameters. The ADAU1328 operates from 3.3 V digital and analog supplies. The ADAU1328 is available in a 48-lead (single-ended output) LQFP. Other members of this family include a differential DAC output and I²C^® control port version.

The ADAU1328 is designed for low EMI. This consideration is apparent in both the system and circuit design architectures. By using the on-board PLL to derive the master clock from the LR clock or from an external crystal, the ADAU1328 eliminates the need for a separate high frequency master clock and can also be used with a suppressed bit clock. The digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital converters are designed using the latest ADI continuous time architectures to further minimize EMI. By using 3.3 V supplies, power consumption is minimized, further reducing emissions.

At least one model within this product family is in production and available for purchase. The product is appropriate for new designs but newer alternatives may exist.
